Famous quotes containing the words german and/or war:
“The German mind, may it live! Almost invisible as a mind, it finally manifests itself assertively as a conviction.”

“Unless they are immediate victims, the majority of mankind behaves as if war was an act of God which could not be prevented; or they behave as if war elsewhere was none of their business. It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.”
—Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)
